Newly unsealed court documents indicate Bill Cosby once admitted under oath to giving women drugs so he could have sex with them.

According to Radar, the 77-year-old comedian made the bombshell admission as part of a deposition he gave in 2005 in response to a suit filed against him by Andrea Constand that claimed he drugged and raped her. A Philadelphia judge recently unsealed the documents.

As many as 30 women have recently come forward to lodge similar allegations against Cosby.

At one point during the videotaped deposition, Constand's attorney Dolores Troiani asks Cosby, "When you got the Quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these Quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?"

"Yes," Cosby says. "I met Ms. [redacted] in Las Vegas. She meets me back stage. I give her Quaaludes. We then have sex."

According to the New York Daily News, Cosby and his attorneys have repeatedly denied all the allegations made against him. He and Constand ultimately settled her case out of court, though the terms were never publicly released.

In a statement released on Monday, a representative for Cosby claimed the legendary performer only settled as a means of protecting his family from having to endure all the embarrassing proceedings.

Attorney Gloria Allred, who represents several of Cosby's alleged victims, sees things differently.

"This confirms the allegations of numerous victims who have alleged that he had used drugs to sexually assault them," she said. "This admission is one that Mr. Cosby has attempted to hide from the public for many years and we are very gratified that it is now being made public."

Former model Janice Dickinson is one of Cosby's alleged victims, and on Monday her attorney, Lisa Bloom, suggested that the latest development vindicates her client.

"Mr. Cosby admitted under oath 10 years ago sedating women for sexual purposes," said Bloom. "Given that, how dare he publicly vilify Ms. Dickinson and accuse her of lying when she tells a very similar story?"

Cosby has never been charged with a crime, and most prosecutors insist the statute of limitations in most of the cases has already expired.
